MATTHEW
25 Pg 4
The tests for whether a nation
will enter the millennial reign of Jesus
25:34 Then shall the King [Jesus]
[1] say unto them
[a.] on his right hand,
[11.] Come,
[aa.] ye blessed of
my Father,
[12.] inherit the kingdom
[aa.] prepared for you
[111.] from the
foundation of the world:
25:35 For [13.] I was an hungered, and
[aa.] ye gave me meat:
[14.] I was thirsty, and
[aa.] ye gave me drink:
[15.] I was a stranger, and
[aa.] ye took me in:
25:36 [16.] [I was] Naked, and
[aa.] ye clothed me:
[17.] I was sick, and
[aa.] ye visited me:
[18.] I was in prison, and
[aa.] ye came unto me.
25:37 Then shall the righteous
[1] answer him, saying, Lord,
[a.] when saw we thee
[11.] an hungered,
[aa.] and fed [thee]?
[12.] or thirsty,
[aa.] and gave [thee] drink?
25:38 [b.] When saw we thee
[11.] a stranger,
[aa.] and took [thee] in?
[12.] or naked,
[aa.] and clothed [thee]?
25:39
[c.] Or when saw we thee
[11.] sick, or
[12.] in prison,
[aa.] and came unto thee?
The test for a nation’s entrance
into the millennial reign of Jesus
25:40 And the King shall answer
[1] and say unto them,
[a.] Verily I say unto you,
[11.] Inasmuch as ye
have done [it] unto
[aa.] one of the
least of these
[111.] my brethren [Jesus literal brethren of the flesh: Jews—how did a nation treat
Jews during their
time of
Jacob’s trouble],
[12.] ye have done [it] unto me [how a nation treats Jews is an issue that Jesus takes personally;
concerning treatment of the
Church, c/p. Acts 9:4] .
Nations who will not enter the
millennium
25:41 Then shall he say also unto them
[1] on the left hand,
[a.] Depart from me,
[11.] ye cursed,
[12.] into everlasting fire,
[aa.] prepared for the devil
[111.] and his angels:
25:42 For [13.] I was an hungered, and
[aa.] ye gave me no meat:
[14.] I was thirsty, and
[aa.] ye gave me no drink:
25:43 [15.] I was a stranger, and
[aa.] ye took me not in:
[16.] [I was] naked, and
[aa.] ye clothed me not: sick, and
[17.] [I was] in prison, and
[aa.] ye visited me not.
25:44 Then shall they also
[1] answer him, saying, Lord
[a.] when saw we thee
[11.] an hungered,
[12.] or athirst,
[13.] or a stranger,
[14.] or naked,
[15.] or sick,
[16.] or in prison,
[aa.] and did not minister unto thee?
25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying,
[1] Verily I say unto you,
[a.] Inasmuch as ye did [it] not
[11.] to one of the
least of these,
[b.] ye did [it]
not to me.
25:46 And these shall go away
[1] into everlasting punishment:
[a.] but the
righteous into life eternal.
